Unlined Patch Pocket | Jenniffer Taylor | Photo Tutorial

Jenniffer Taylor guides you through the best technique for unlined patch pockets.

The shape and size of these pockets is your choice, but you should create a pattern so that you can ensure that the pocket is even and the right shape before you cut your fabric. Once you have the finished shape drawn out, you will need to add a different set of seam allowances compared to a lined patch pocket.

Top tip! Whether your pocket has a square or curved bottom, stitch around the pocket with an extended straight stitch and a 5/8in (1.5cm) seam allowance at step 3. This will give you a guide as to where to press under the raw edges in steps 4-5. If your pocket has a curved bottom, gently pull the bobbin thread of your extended stitch to ease the curved shape when pressing.

This tutorial has been extracted from Your Skirt, Your Way by Jenniffer Taylor. In this title, Jenniffer will show you how to design and sew your own gorgeous, unique skirts, with no need for shop-bought patterns. Start by creating your own block and toile using just four body measurements. Then select your skirt shape, add the fittings, fastenings and details you want, and put the whole thing together with ease.
